Why invest in MEUS from India

What MEUS holds

To track the performance of STOXX Europe 600 Index (the Index), and to minimize the tracking error between the net asset value of the sub-fund and the performance of the Index.

Outside US estate tax

MEUS is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

Dividends reinvested for you

Dividends from MEUS' holdings are reinvested inside the fund, so nothing is paid out to you and there is no dividend to declare in India.

Hold a dollar asset

MEUS is priced in US dollars, so a weaker rupee adds to what it's worth in rupees. The rupee depreciated over 85% against the dollar between 2010 and 2025.

Paasa handles the paperwork

Investing abroad brings paperwork with it: remittance filings, capital gains reporting, foreign asset disclosure. Paasa prepares all of it for you. Your India-ready tax reports arrive at year end, ready to file.

Why MEUS' UCITS structure matters for Indian investors

MEUS is domiciled in Luxembourg, not the US, so it is not a US-situs asset and US estate tax does not apply to it.

Capital gains are taxed in India the same way as on a US-listed ETF.
